My leadership coaching and strategy consulting practices focus on building the capacity of individuals and organizations. I work with clients from across the United States and in Canada, Australia and Asia—nonprofit executives, educational administrators and faculty members, high technology, biotech, legal, sales & marketing, and medical professionals—to develop greater competence in managing change and renewal, leading organizations, and formulating and executing strategy.

I draw upon over 25 years of leadership and management experience in post-secondary institutions, nonprofit organizations, the US government and the for-profit sectors. Whether the desired outcome involves developing new organizational strategies, galvanizing support for new initiatives, improving board governance, becoming a more effective communicator or charting a new career path, my aim is to help clients achieve and sustain excellent performance.

I have been recognized for contributions to the strength of the alumni relations profession in Canada (as Associate Vice President Alumni for the University of British Columbia/Executive Director of the UBC Alumni Association) and in the United States (as Director of Alumni Relations at Stanford) as well as worldwide through my teaching, journal contributions and commission service for CASE (Council for the Advancement & Support of Education). I hold AB and MLA degrees from Stanford University and completed the Accelerated Leadership Program at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. I am also a certified Integral Coach TM through New Ventures West.
